Hypermelanization

[Alexxn]

Does it ever go away ? I have 2 clowns - a small true Percula that has started to get more black (I think he is maturing that way) and I also acquired an Ocellaris that was perfectly fine in his previous tank and was in QT for a few weeks and now in my tank for @ 3 weeks...he is starting to get black spots on his orange. I'm sure it isn't black ich as the spots are larger. They both seem to host in my GSP, I have no anemonies and I never see then near my zoos.

Do these spots ever go away ? Anything I can do / feed them ? I'm really tempted to just buy a larger more mature pair of clowns....

Any info is greatly appreciated !

yes they go away.

The small spots usually go away, but some do not. They are not a cause for concern, though.

My male clown has something similar to this, but it may be the spawning or something, it has yet to recede, but it looks kinda nice, so I don't mind

The black spots usually happen when a clown has accepted a new or an unnatural host (your GSP). It almost always goes away.

I think then I have something different, I'll include pics when I get a memory card or when I find time to upload and save the old pics on my camera.
